Naïve question: would 3D scanning and metal/other 3D printing help you manufacture such parts by yourself?

Naïve question: would 3D scanning and metal/other 3D printing help you manufacture such parts by yourself?
- anamax 5y ago"Manufacture such parts yourself" is not OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Yes, even if they're physically indistinguishable. (And they would be physically distinguishable because 3d printed parts can be distinguished, even if they perform identically.) It's a legal thing.
- CobaltFire 5y agoNot naive at all. It would, but as another response mentioned that's no different, for instance, than buying an adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator and setting it to stock settings. In any reasonable world that's fine; in the emissions world that's absolutely illegal.
